You’re listening to Unsubscribe! Today we talk with Stephen Keefe, a rising Jr. Project Manager here at demandDrive, about how he effectively separates inbound and outbound activity.

A popular debate topic, inbound vs. outbound activity is one of the tougher things to manage for a new SDR. As an SDR you want to prioritize the activity that gets you a meeting – that’s inbound/outbound agnostic.
